KSU Pledges Filmed Doing Their Frat Chants In The Campus Sewers
Published on Mar 2, 2015 - I was walking by the drain in the faculty lot near the student center when I started to hear voices in the drains.
I did some research and some of the names were the founders of Pi Kappa Phi fraternity.
KSU Sentinel – Harmonious chants echoed from the underground sewer systems of Kennesaw State University in the late evening hours of March 1 after a Sentinel staff member stumbled across voices coming from a drainage grate at the south Student Center faculty parking lot.
Sentinel photo editor, Matthew Boggs, was walking across a seemingly vacant campus parking lot when he heard voices coming from beneath him.
“I was walking across campus on a night photo-walk when I thought I heard voices coming from behind me. I turned around and there was no one there,” said Boggs. “I realized it was coming from the drain and I first thought it was echoing from somewhere else, but then I saw a cellphone underneath the drain grate and I knew people were down there. It sounded like chanting and it was very unnerving.”
In the video evidence captured by Boggs, the voices appear to recite names in unison: “Anthony Pelzer Wagener, Theodore Barnwell Kelly, James Fogarty…”
According to the Pi Kappa Phi alumni association’s website, the names being recited are those of the founding fathers of the fraternity.
A KSU Pi Kappa Phi chapter member confirmed on Monday, March 2 via telephone call that it was in fact Pi Kappa Phi in the video, but offers no further comment on the events that took place that evening.
That’s just shitty luck for Kennesaw State Pi Kapp, no pun intended. Seriously what are the odds a freaking journalist from the student newspaper is wandering directly over the exact sewer grate you’re doing your pledge chants at like 3 in the morning? Doing a “night photo-walk” like some sort of super nerd? Obviously had to run home and file his incredibly important story right away too. Couldn’t just cut some sort of deal like a normal college kid, like his own person case of beer and a room alone with a sorority chick at the next house party or something. Nope, had to get his Deep Throat on for the Sentinel. I’ll give it 24 hours before KSU Pi Kappa Phi is kicked off campus, the leadership arrested, and the pledge master executed for hazing.
